| Abstract | ACT® Academy™ was launched in March 2018 as a free online resource to help students improve their academic skills and prepare for the ACT® test. This study provides an early look at ACT Academy usage and its effects on ACT test scores. The authors found that moderate usage (e.g., 6 hours) of ACT Academy's quizzes and practice tests leads to an improvement in ACT test scores of 1-2 points. However, most students have not spent enough time on the platform to reap the benefits. They also found that the number of ACT Academy users has increased steadily over time, and that female, Asian, and higher-achieving students are somewhat more likely to use ACT Academy. The results suggest that ACT Academy can be an effective and efficient tool to improve academic skills important for college and careers. ACT Academy can have a greater impact on college readiness if more students are aware of it and invest the time needed to benefit from it. (ERIC). |
